About how many shaves will you get out of the included soap?

I shave about 5 or 6 times a week with a DE razor, typically its 2 passes per shave - 3 on special occasions. This soap lasted me about 5 weeks.

It was for my husband, so I asked him what his answer to your question would be. He has used it daily for over a month, and he says he might have used up 1/32 of the bar, if that. So I think it's safe to assume that it will last a a good long while. I hope that helps.

I shave 3-4 times a week, and I have been using the included soap for four months at least. Only just last week did I notice the cake starting to get translucent in the middle, so I might have a few more weeks or a month left. I'm not terribly efficient with the soap when I shave either, so it should last you quite a while.

Damn that is hard to say cause I'm still using it. It's a normal sized soap and I shave every other day. I'm not even half way done yet and I've shaved 15 times now.

I have not continued to use this soap. A previous soap of this type from another brand lasted more than 2 months

Too early to tell. I have only been using this one for a few months so far.

I shave my neck cheek and abs with the soap, as I keep quite a bushy honest Abe. The soap is about halfway gone since I bought it in december . My routine is to shave about twice a week. The soap will last you quite a while. I'd say it'll last me about a year. Also the scent is magnificent. Not trying to endorse the product or anything but, since I like it, why not.

I typically give each side 2 shaves. Sometimes more sometimes less. It really depends on what you have going on for facial hair. If you are thin I would imagine you could get more, but I find that after one to two times with a side it starts to cut less smooth.

I just rinse the razor under hot water after each shave. I have a cup for toothbrushes and I set the razor on the edge of the cup. Haven't taken the blade out after each shave and cleaned it. That seems to be a bit extreme. I suppose you could get more shaves out of a blade, but they are cheap enough that I am glad to get 4-5 before changing.

You can use a separate bowl, or simply swipe the wet brush on the soap a few times and then work up a lather in the palm of your hand. I suppose you could also work up the lather in the original container, but I guess you'd tend to pick up more and more and more soap that way, which would be a waste.

One to a pack. I've used them for a couple of times before throwing out. You have to clean the gunky, soapy hair off if that grosses you out.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

3 shaves on average however be aware this razor lasts about a year before the chrome platting falls off. The company does not cover that on the warranty.

The battery charge lasts about two hours worth of shaves and one shave takes about 5-6 minutes - so one charge lasts for about 20 shaves. Hope this helps

I can get an average of 4 really nice shaves out of a Feather blade.. That's pretty good cause there is not a blade that last me long. Feathers give a nice smooth shave

I think eucalyptus oil would be too strong of an essential oil to use with shaving soap. Lavender oil would be a better choice.

Hi R.S. Wanat, I would say about ten times or more if you space it out with shaving every two to three days to make the blades last longer. They really do a good job getting rid of the stubble. The blades are super sharp so please shave gently. After awhile just like with any blade you will start to feel a pulling sensation(dull blade) which is a signal to change to a new blade. Wishing you many happy shaves.

To the best of my knowledge the shelf life on shave cream / shave soap is a minimum of 2 years. Typically 3 years is average Thx Fgp

there are 3 cartridges. frequency of change depends on how often you run the clean cycle and if you rinse the shaver prior to cleaning. I rinse after every use and run the clean cycle every time I use the shaver - on average 4 - 6 times a week. I get more than 30 days out of a cartridge. We have very hard water where I live so I use bottled water in the cleaning base so that there's no mineral deposit issues. Even if you have owned a Panasonic shaver with a cleaning base in the past you will be very surprised at how long the cleaning cycle runs and how noisy it is. That is the only downside to this shaver - it's annoyingly loud during the cleaning cycle so you need to run the cleaning cycle when you are not going to be home and for sure don't do it at night.

I do it BEFORE every shave. It seems to work pretty good but it is still one more step that takes about a minute and a half a day. I think it's worth the money especially if you are on a budget and need to count dollars, but I don't. The jury is still out for me.....

One. It's also smaller than I expected but it works great. I also suggest the head slick over shaving cream.

You don't need to disassemble, it rinses clean very well. I only disassemble to change blades and after several months of shaving, there is no soap build up and the blades still look like new each change.

A good question! By the book, it's recommended to use a lathering bowl. I would imagine you'll use less soap and have a better result if you use a bowl. Here's a good guide.http://zenhabits.net/the-zen-of-shaving-how-a-double-edge-razor-can-change-your-life/
